Ricoh has announced its new WG-5 GPS rugged, compact camera. It features a 16MP CMOS sensor and a 4x optical zoom lens (25-100mm equivalent). As evident in the model name, it offers integrated GPS, as well as a digital compass, for geo-tagging images. 

Ricoh WG-5 GPS Key Features

  • 16MP 1/2.3″ Backlit CMOS Sensor
  • Ricoh 4.5-18mm 4x Optical Zoom Lens
  • 25-100mm f/2-4.9 Lens (35mm Equivalent)

The WG-5 GPS is waterproof to 45 feet, shock-resistant up to 7 feet, dustproof and cold-resistant against temperatures down to -10 degrees C. It is also crushproof against weight up to 220 pounds – so you can sit on it, but not run over it.
